International Visiting Fellows

International Perspectives for Doctoral Education

With the International Visiting Fellows program, the Graduate School of Leuphana University of Lüneburg invites internationally recognized scholars and distinguished experts from fields of societal practice to undertake short-term research and teaching stays. The aim is to systematically integrate international perspectives into the doctoral program and to strengthen academic exchange across disciplinary and national boundaries.

The Fellows design interdisciplinary block seminars within the doctoral program and contribute their disciplinary and international expertise to the exchange with doctoral researchers and faculty members. In addition, they participate in research discussions, workshops, and other dialogue formats within the doctoral programs.
